This book is 7.5" x 10", and has 200 pages of our eco-friendly bamboo paper which is lovely to write or sketch on with any type of pen, and is also great with pencils or charcoal. The paper is acid-free and ideal for mounting photos and memorabilia.
This book has an especially gorgeous, and rare (and thus the extra $10) antique icebox hinge closure, which makes it very unique. I cut a sliver out of the hinge to turn it into a hasp/clasp. These hinges date back to the late 1800’s to early 1900’s when iceboxes were quite common. The padlocks that I use are antiques from India (American padlocks of the same era have a much more industrial look...India made them with a bit more flair) , and all of them come with a beautiful key attached. These are actual working locks, and yet I recommend that you treat them more as decoration
because of their age.
